One of the sources of inspiration for this character design was a woman who walked by while I was sketching shoppers at a outdoor mall plaza. She was wearing a shirt with the numbers 666 on the shoulder. I choose an image that would convey the same feeling in my design, something I felt was more effective.

Sure. Actually I’m surprised more people hadn’t mentioned (one other had above).

It’s a skull. Reason being…one of the sources of inspiration for this character design was a woman who walked by while I was sketching shoppers at a outdoor mall plaza.

To me this looks a bit like an overwhelmed shopper. But her purse isn’t that big, so maybe it’s more a resign indecision? Fun with the skull on the shoulder, which I noticed right away, but thought it was a puppy.
